David Ho, Part 1

So I was getting on the bus last week and noticed an odd bike strapped to the front. I guess it wasn’t that the bike itself was odd, more the fact that it looked like an adult bike, but had some stuffed animals in the basket. Seemed a little unusual until I got on the bus and discovered the owner… none other than the infamous David Ho.^*

I was quite certain it was him, seeing as he was wearing his bike helmet, was carrying some sort of Harry Potter book (one of the Harry Potter journals or something like that, I don’t think it was one of the actual novels), had a giant garbage bag, and overall looked a little odd. I’m not exactly sure what he was carrying around in the garbage bag, but he had wrapped some heavy duty insulated wire around it that was serving as a handle.

Anyway, there isn’t much more to say since he simply got off at a stop on campus without any further excitement. But I can now say that I’ve seen the David Ho up close on my bus.

^* For those of you who haven’t heard of David Ho, I’ll try to clue you in. I’ve heard an assortment of stories from Amanda and her sisters about him that paint a colorful picture. Apparently, David Ho used to attend Central High School in Champaign, IL. This poor fellow apparently also had a run-in with a bus, and has never been quite the same since. This isn’t to say he was exactly normal before, but getting hit by a bus tends to enhance a person’s previously unusual demeanor. He is still a HUGE Central fan and attends a large number of their games. He’s also a big fan of all things Harry Potter and has been known to dress-up like him on many occassions. He was even featured in some sort of local parade in his Harry Potter outfit (although I can’t remember whether he was supposed to be, or if he just jumped out there and started walking with the rest of the parade folk).
